Hi,
I would spend the extra 100 dollars for the 1800 watt unit. It is much more capable than the 1000 watt.

Do use a coupon to reduce the price.
The Megawatt may be a better choice. Have a look here:

As of now I am going to use the generator for charging the battery. I'm guessing I will get a charger that uses about 25 amps. Wouldn't the 1,000 watt generator be plenty? My thinking is if I get the bigger one it will be a little heavier(not much), little more fuel and a tad bit louder.
How acurate is published db levels?
Are most published levels rated at 1/4 load?
I never see published at what distance the db levels were taken.
We will be tent camping on the beach so the next person may be closer than would be in a campground so I would like to keep the generator noise to the lowest level I can. If could afford it I would get a Honda. I know there are other brands just as quite as a Honda but still a bit more than I can afford right now.
